Be An Engaged Citizen

Embrace your role in the story of “We the People” by answering the call of active citizenship.

At the National Constitution Center, it is our mission to illuminate constitutional ideals and inspire citizens to engage in their democracy and community. Here, you can find ways to take action, express your views, and get involved.

Civic Engagement At The Center

Knowing how our government works is an essential part of being an engaged citizen. The National Constitution Center is the ultimate civic learning resource, whether you’re looking to enhance your classroom curriculum, decode the latest constitutional debates in the news, or simply deepen your understanding of America’s founding document.

Share your election priorities in a six-word stump speech, and learn what’s important to your fellow citizens. Plus, you can download the six-word stump speech activity for your classroom, and even take to the stump at the Center or during the Address America national tour.

Volunteering at the National Constitution Center is a great way to get involved in your community while learning more about America’s constitutional history. By contributing your time and knowledge, you can learn something new, share what you already know, meet new people, and have fun!
